Born an orphan in plague-scarred 15th-century London, Samuel Knight was raised on scripture by his grandparents-yet became a street urchin. Their deaths left him scavenging docks until, at seventeen, he fled to the merciless sea aboard the merchant cog The Impregnable. Amid Hundred Years' War storms and French privateers, he learned iron discipline and quiet faith.

A routine cargo run to a lakeside port near Tábor in the Holy Roman Empire changed everything. Hidden in the hold was Sara Wilhelm-daughter of a noble persecutor, fleeing after Church raiders torched her Hussite circle. Inspired by Jan Hus's martyrdom at Constance, she carried banned Czech scriptures and a burning call for truth in the common tongue.

Only Samuel offered kindness. In the dim hold, shared rations became shared convictions; Sara rekindled the faith his grandparents planted. When she begged help to free imprisoned believers facing torture, Samuel stole a skiff under moonless skies, ferrying families to safety.

Discovery branded them heretics. With Sara and the rescued aboard, Samuel fled across open water-pursued by The Impregnable that once was home. His old captain, now hunter, closed fast. Samuel's hard-won sailing skill was all that stood between life and the pyre.

In an age of doctrinal fire and unyielding seas, Samuel fought to shield the persecuted-and the woman who had awakened his soul-defying empire, Church, and betrayal to protect faith's fragile flame.All Rights Reserved

Refuge In The Shadows by EmilyLuong

Raised as Hunters in a hidden counterinsurgency society in the late nineteenth century, nineteen year old Welsh twins Carys and Cadeyrn Llewelyn have led brutal, unforgiving lives filled with heartbreak and pain. As the only female Hunter, Carys has proven her place among the males, but not without a terrible price. And while Carys is as self-sacrificing as ever, it's up to Cadeyrn to make sure he's there to pick up the pieces. When a mysterious Hunter from London beckons the twins and their friends to the city to eliminate a target, self discoveries are made, relationships are tested, and wounds are reopened. _____ "Cadeyrn, everything we have been through, everything we have sacrificed has come down to this moment. Steamboats and trains make travel exponentially faster. Industry has become the crown jewel of the country. Stringent moral codes are disintegrating. Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly. Cadeyrn sat on Carys's bed and enveloped her in a brotherly embrace. "Do not say such things about yourself. You are as strong and determined as Mam was." Carys gave Cadeyrn a watery smile and he returned to his own bed. Carys turned her body around so that she was facing the window. The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.

The Ossuary Crown by allkashmoney

In the dead heart of a continent abandoned by mercy, the Kingdom of Vyrmathrax festers like an open wound sealed in crown and ritual. Draped in perpetual ash and carved from divine bone, this cathedral‑fortress realm answers to a single creed: "Only That Which Bleeds Is True." Beneath a bruised sky etched with sacrificial lightning, the Ossuary Crown rises-its towers hewn from skulls and ribcages, each toll of its femur‑bells a requiem for souls long damned. At its scarred throne sits an unmasked monarch wreathed in stunned flames and sacred pain. Around her kneel bone‑clad Knights of the Weeping Oath, their swords relic crucifixes, their visors bleeding incense. The Clergy of the Godshroud preach salvation through agony: tongues cut and replaced with bells, rites stained with entrails and martyr's blood. Pilgrims crawl through the Valley of Thorns beneath statues of weeping saints, begging entry to a land where faith is wrought in suffering. From the Sanctified Ribways to the Eye‑Hollows, from the Marrow‑Vaults to the Throat Clefts, every breath, heartbeat, and shard of bone is a hymn to glorious pain. But as the Crimson Synod weaves judgment with flayed flesh and voicelatched prophets, a missing Ember‑Tongue's final prophecy stirs behind the veil of death. Welcome to Vyrmathrax. Here, in the cathedral of divine wounds, you are not alive until you've bled.

Love Adrift by lippizzaner01

When Abigail Hastings is torn from London's glittering ballrooms and forced aboard a merchant vessel bound for Jamaica, she's determined to find her way back to the life she was promised-at any cost. But the Atlantic Ocean has other plans. As storms rage and pirates threaten, Abigail discovers that survival demands more than silk gowns and social graces. It requires courage she never knew she possessed. Eric Bailey has spent six months recovering from betrayal, and now he's finally returning to the Caribbean to expose the naval captain who left him and his crewmates for dead. The last thing he needs is to play protector to a spoiled aristocrat who thinks the world should bow to her whims. But when the captain assigns him to guard Miss Hastings, Eric finds himself drawn to the fire beneath her icy facade. As the voyage grows more perilous and the distance between their worlds seems insurmountable, he must choose between the justice he's sworn to seek and the woman who's beginning to steal his heart. On a ship where class divides like the ocean itself, two souls from different worlds must navigate treacherous waters-both at sea and in their hearts. With pirates on the horizon and secrets threatening to surface, Abigail and Eric will discover that the greatest adventure isn't crossing an ocean, but daring to love someone society says they shouldn't. In a world where duty and desire collide, will they find the courage to chart their own course, or will the tides of propriety pull them apart forever?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

The Claimed by Mentally-Insane

They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.

The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyssm of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

Now eighteen, she's fiery, reckless, and burning with a rage she can't explain. Until the rip opens. Drawn back into a world she never knew, Aria is hunted by vampires, coveted by sirens, and feared by her own kind. But when her true powers awaken and a dangerously loyal werewolf claims her as his mate, Aria must decide: Will she become the weapon they all fear-or the queen no one saw coming? A saga of fire, blood, and destiny begins. Supernatural fantasy meets royal drama with a fierce heroine at the center of it all. This is not the myth you've heard.
